Carl Lawson Might Not Be Ready For Week 1
1 year agoNew York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said he's unsure if defensive end Carl Lawson (back) will be ready for Week 1 of the regular season. Beyond Lawson, John Franklin-Myers, Jermaine Johnson, Micheal Clemons, Bryce Huff and first-rounder Will McDonald are the team's options at edge rusher entering the 2023 regular season. The 28-year-old Lawson has dealt with a back injury during training camp and isn't expected to return to practice this week, putting his availability in question for the start of the season this year. Lawson missed all of the 2021 season due to injury in his first year in New York, but he returned last year to produce 33 tackles (18 solo), seven sacks, nine tackles for loss, 24 QB hits, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 17 starts.
